Are there different types of skis available to buy?
Yes there are, but there are some pairs that you won’t really need to worry about. For example, racing skis won’t be relevant unless you are already an expert skier – in which case you probably won’t be reading this page in the first place! Similarly, freestyle skis are wonderful if you are experienced enough to have discovered a love of doing stunts and other freestyle moves. But if you are simply aiming on getting down the mountain in one piece, then you just need a basic pair of skis. Look for all terrain skis that are good enough to cope with pretty much any kind of snow or conditions. These will give you the best deal for your money, and you will be able to handle them better as you start to learn the sport.
